I did once successfully train cats not to go into the kitchen. They'd not even venture in if their food bowls were on the floor out of reach. They knew they'd be fed in the hallway.
I have a very easy method to train your cats not to go in the kitchen, in comparison to any other alternative; build a wall blocking every way in. Whether it's something you can climb is negotiable.
I'm of the opinion that if you build a high enough wall with the right footholds that will cease to be true. It won't be affordable to build a 20 foot wall with sufficient foot and handholds, and rock climbing to get into the kitchen is a royal nuisance, but it's still better than the alternatives.
